Deputy Energy Minister Herbert Krapa has been appointed as the new Board Chairman of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) following the resignation of Keli Gadzekpo for personal reasons. His appointment comes at a critical juncture as Ghana grapples with power outages, commonly referred to as dumsor.
Amidst mounting concerns over the frequent blackouts, the ECG has faced heightened scrutiny. Despite Energy Minister Matthew Opoku Prempeh’s denial of a dumsor resurgence, citizens are calling for transparency and proactive measures from the government.
Krapa’s selection signifies a change in leadership within the ECG board, with high expectations for him to effectively address the recent power disruptions. As the new Board Chairman, Krapa is entrusted with guiding the company through the complexities of power distribution and ensuring a stable electricity supply nationwide.
Given the public’s demand for a structured timetable to mitigate the impact of power outages, Krapa faces the immediate task of restoring confidence in ECG’s ability to deliver reliable electricity services. His leadership will play a crucial role in implementing strategies to ease the burden on citizens and promote economic stability amid power uncertainties.
As Krapa assumes his new position, all eyes are on him and the ECG board to provide practical solutions that alleviate the effects of power outages and rebuild public trust in Ghana’s energy sector.
